A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2125

“How is it, Chu Tianfan? Have you started to tremble with fear?” Chu Yuan taunted. “I know you're scared, but you have nothing to worry about. I won't let you stay fearful for long because you'll soon die at my hands! You won't feel anything when you're dead!”

Waves of boundless energy continued surging through Chu Yuan as he stood with the starry horizon behind him and raging clouds at his feet.

Like a dry sponge, he frantically absorbed all the elemental forces around him with no intention of stopping anytime soon.

From afar, Chu Yuan seemed to be in the center of the vortex, and his every move had the power to pull in the heavens and earth.

The more he felt the energy building up within him, the more arrogant and audacious he became.

How could he not when he could wrap the vast world before him with a stretch of his arms? Simply put, he felt like a divine being who had control over the entire universe.

Even as Chu Yuan's loud, booming voice echoed through the area, Ye Fan shrugged it off with a derisive snort.

“Ha! What's there to be afraid of? You're about to use Invoke the Celestial Sky, aren't you? What makes you think you're the only one capable of that?” he said coldly and without any trace of fear. “By the way, I can also assure you that my technique is a lot more legitimate than yours. It'll be an unwise move on your part if you still wish to use Invoke the Celestial Sky against me.”

To everyone's surprise, Chu Yuan suddenly burst out laughing as if he had just heard the funniest joke ever.

“Oh, Chu Tianfan, you poor child. After all my years of experience, do you honestly think I only know those half-baked secret techniques of the Chu family? What a joke! Let me show you what true power is and what it means to be invincible! To hell with Invoke the Celestial Sky and Chu Yunyang. In my eyes, they're nothing but trash! Hahaha...”

Needless to say, it was apparent to everyone that Chu Yuan's laughter and words were dripping with murderous intent.

Not long after, the energy concentration in the area had climbed to a peak and threatened to burst at any moment.

A ball of energy exploded at Chu Yuan's feet and swiftly morphed into the Yin Yang Formation, the very formation that had gathered the power of the universe.

“T-This...”

“What on earth is that?”

Upon seeing the Yin Yang Formation, everyone at Mount Yunding reeled in amazement.

Even the citizens in Yunzhou had also noticed the massive formation covering the sky and a glowing Chu Yuan standing in the midst of it like a divine being.

Naturally, no one could take their eyes off such an incredible sight.

Ye Fan, too, had lost his usual calmness as panic crept up his spine.

This isn't Invoke the Celestial Sky! Damn it. Could Chu Yuan be hiding his other trump cards? No, it's time for me to act. I can't sit by and let him continue gathering energy!

Having made up his mind, Ye Fan flew out like an arrow shot from the bow and unleashed The Chu's Unrivaled Punch at the black-and-white formation wheel beneath Chu Yuan.

As it turned out, he had long figured out that the most critical point of Chu Yuan's attack lay in his Yin Yang Formation.

After all, the latter had relied on the formation wheel to accumulate that insane amount of power.

If Ye Fan could destroy the formation, he was sure Chu Yuan would lose his powers and be reduced to a sitting duck.

Boom!

Within seconds, his attacks landed square on Chu Yuan's formation and shattered it into pieces.

Seeing the formation wheel break away into shards, Ye Fan heaved a sigh of relief. “Yes! I did it!”

Unfortunately, that relief was short-lived because it wasn't long before an impending sense of doom once again washed over him.

“H-How is this possible?” Ye Fan muttered while staring wide-eyed at Chu Yuan.

Even though the formation wheel was gone, the forces of heaven and earth continued to be drawn toward and into Chu Yuan's body.

For a moment, Ye Fan was stunned and speechless.

W-What's going on? I honestly thought Chu Yuan's attacks would fall apart once his formation got destroyed. Why is the energy still gathering around him?

Just then, Chu Yuan's deep, booming voice rang out.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“You're very clever, Chu Tianfan. You could tell from one glance that the formation wheel is the critical point of my secret technique! However, it's all too late for you. Everything has been set in stone, and there's no turning back from here on out! Prepare to die, you mere mortals!”

Boom!

As soon as those words were out of Chu Yuan's mouth, an orb of energy erupted from him and morphed into a giant finger.

Not only was its size comparable to that of a mountain, but it also seemed strong enough to prop up the skies.

Humbled by the magnificence and power of the giant finger, everyone could only cower in its shadow.

Even Ye Fan had begun to feel as though he was walking on thin ice, and his fear was palpable.

By then, the crowd had descended into a state of panic. “W-What on earth is that technique?”

“Why hasn't this been recorded in our intelligence reports?”

King of Fighters and Sword Saint, too, were taken aback by the sheer magnitude of Chu Yuan's power.

As much as they hated to admit it, they could feel the dread gnawing at their insides.

Just then, Chu Yuan controlled the giant finger and sent it crashing down on Ye Fan's spot.

At the same time, his powerful voice reverberated through the sky.

“Great Flame Dragon Finger. Heaven-Wrecking Finger!”

Bam!

In an instant, the giant golden finger fell from the sky like a flaming mountain, its explosive power shattering the space around it and sending a blast of scorching heat waves.

Soon, everyone saw the giant finger barreling down toward Ye Fan, threatening to smash him into smithereens.

Knowing how powerful the impact would be, Ye Fan quickly decided to use the Nine Steps of Yunyang to dodge Chu Yuan's attack.

Alas, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't move out of the giant finger's attack range.

It was like running under the sun, where it was virtually impossible to hide from the sun's rays.

I guess I'm left with no other choice. I'll have to go all out!

With that, Ye Fan decided to change his strategy and take the attack head-on.

“Boundless Destruction!” he bellowed.

Immediately after, the Celestial Cloud began whirring at warp speed in his elixir field, sending a surge of power throughout his body.

Eventually, Ye Fan gathered the power onto his fist and unleashed a punch that could rival the God of Thunder's hammer.

Bang!

A loud rumble rang out as Ye Fan's Infinity Fist crashed into Chu Yuan's Great Flame Dragon Finger.

Sadly, the valiant counterattack barely caused a dent in the latter's giant finger, much to Ye Fan and everyone else's horror.

Not only did his first punch not hold back the attack, but it was also utterly obliterated.

Without further ado, Ye Fan threw out several more punches, hoping he could hold off the Great Flame Dragon Finger long enough to activate other more powerful techniques.

However, he soon realized that he had underestimated Chu Yuan's capabilities!

Now that he was aware of the sheer power of the giant finger, Ye Fan knew his attacks were akin to tossing stones into the ocean.

It was simply ludicrous to think that a stone could block the onslaught of a massive ocean!

Sure enough, he couldn't even land his last few punches before they were swallowed whole by the giant finger.
